Fire crews battling the fire on the bin lorry
Firefighters have been called to a bin lorry on fire this morning.
Fire crews from Loughton, Brentwood and Harlow were all called out to attend the burning vehicle on the M25 clockwise between J26 and J27.
Two lanes of the M25 are temporarily closed and long delays are expected along Honey Lane, Theydon Bois, so emergency services can deal with the fire safely.
